MUSICAL E. VE.NT 5 Come Late and A vozd "The Classics" S OMEWHERE there's a jingle about "beauty and duty, looks and books," but we won't bother with it now except as a text for a report on the beginning of the new concert season in the Town Hall last week. Three unusually attractive ladies burdened themselves with music which they sang because it was the Right Thing to Do. '- ""- It would have been more fun if they hadn't. More fun for them, also. Miss Leonora Corona, erstwhile Metropolitan soprano, began her con- cert and the season with "Divinités du Styx" from Gluck's "Alceste," and "Non so più" from Mozart's "Nozze di Figaro." Miss Corona didn't sound comfortable with these airs, but there's a tradition that if you don't start your re- cital with something guaranteed "class- ical," a critic or somebody else in the hall will hop up and denounce you as a Public Enemy. That mayor may not be why Miss Corona took on these ap- parently uncongenial songs. Anyhow, when she got around to an assortment of fairly recent Italian music, her voice and her singing were at home, and if that's where you happened to come in, as some visitors did, that's where you could have heard Miss Corona at her best. Some of her high tones didn't seem to be entirely under control, but her voice was warm and expressive when she ar- rived at Respighi and Castelnuovo- Tedesco. One who knows about such things will have to tell you what she wore, but it was immensely effective, and so was the Corona personality. AN evening later, Miss Georgina I1 Dieter, who has sung in light opera hereabouts, gave her first local recital, tackling a program that might have flattened the toughest veteran. Miss Dieter is officially a "mezzo-con- tralto," which may be the right designa- tion for a young singer who doesn't have to worry about reaching the high notes or the low ones. The. voice is pretty and rather light, but it had to dig into things by Bach, Schubert, Doni- zetti, Brahms, and Wagner that call for a large, dramatic equipment.
